Is it the first time there has been a volcano erupt a couple of thousand kilometers from the UK? – Why has there not sales@costalinkmagazine.com been a problem like this before? Is it really going to damage every aeroplane that flies through it? Or are the powers that be being over-cautious?

Three Men on a Hike

Vaseline Survey

Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large raging, violent river. Needing to get to the other side, the first man prayed: “God, please give me the strength to cross the river.” Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice. After witnessing that, the second man prayed: “God, please give me strength and the tools to cross the river” Poof! God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once. Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed: “God, please give me the strength, the tools and the intelligence to cross the river” Poof! He was turned into a woman. She checked the map, hiked one

A man doing market research for Vaseline contacted a young mother of three and asked “have you ever used our product?” She says, “Yes my husband and I use it all the time.” “And if you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for?” “We use it for sex.” The researcher was a little surprised; usually people lie say that they use it on a child's bicycle chain or to help with a gate hinge. But, in fact, we know that most people do use it for sex. I admire you for your honesty. “Since you've been frank so far, can you tell me exactly how you use it for sex?” The woman says, “I don't mind telling you at all... We put it on the door knob to keep the kids out.”

Well just about everyone really! Katie Price and Kerry Katona have been waging war on each other for as long as we can remember but now it seems that other celeb’s are jumping on the we hate Katie band wagon Polite TV presenter Kirstie Allsop has been one of the latest to comment saying “she might as well put her children up a chimney to earn some money. They’ll have no chance of leading a private life when they are older.” Lorraine Kelly said “you can’t sell every aspect of your life and then squeak about press intrusion. How does she do that and keep a

K N

straight face? She is totally over-exposed!” Vic Reeves has spoken out saying – “Jordan was the rudest celebrity I ever met by a long way. We’re all aware of her obnoxious character! Others to comment have been Denise Welch and Janice Dickenson. We think that perhaps Jordan should remember the old adage: “Be careful how you treat people on you’re way up the greasy pole, because you might meet them again on your way back down”? Quirky pop superstar Lady GaGa has discovered an unlikely idol, Her Majesty the Queen, whom she met at the Royal Variety Show. The Paparazzi singer is so taken with our Monarch that she is studying the Queen’s speeches to perfect a British accent for her tour of the UK in May. GaGa for Queen, Gaga for Queen ..!

World Cup WAGS prepare for battle . Posh thinks she’ll be dropped by the rest of the group and in the meantime Alex Curran and Coleen Rooney and busy preparing to steal Mrs Beckham’s crown. With the preparations for the World Cup in full swing it’s amazing what is going on behind the scenes Victoria is worried that all the other girls will bitch behind her back if she doesn’t socialise with them, but knows that now she is forging a new career as a fashion designer the other WAG’s label her as stuck up. Meanwhile Coleen has been working out for 90 minutes a day to get in shape and has shed much of her baby weight since February. In a bid to be crowned the most stylish WAG, Alex Curran has already spent a whopping £25K on designer gear! And who said it wall all about the football?!

Funny Holiday Complaints...

• “We bought ‘Ray-Ban’ sunglasses for five euros from a street trader, only to find out they were fake.” • “We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels.” • “On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don’t like spicy food at all.” • It’s lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during ’siesta’ time – this should be banned.” • “I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.” • “I was bitten by a mosquito – no-one said they could bite.” • “We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the

K N

sand as yellow but it was white.” • A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time. • A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she’d been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the “do not disturb” sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room. • “The brochure stated: ‘No hairdressers at the accommodation’. We’re trainee hairdressers – will we be OK staying here?” • “Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women.” • “No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled.” • “We had to queue outside with no air conditioning.” Continued on page 16...

Lovely Lashes

Most women would say that mascara is one of the most important products in their make-up bag .It has long been acknowledged that by lengthening, volumising and enhancing the eyelashes, the eyes become more alluring and defined. The search for “the” mascara often goes on endlessly with many bought, tried and left festering at the bottom of a dusty drawer. Search no longer ladies .Guerlain have introduced a mascara that is unrivalled on the market. ‘Le 2 de Guerlain’ is a double-ended mascara that ticks all the boxes. The main brush creates long, conditioned and defined lashes and the smaller brush is perfect for coating the smaller corner lashes and delicately coating the lower lashes. This amazing product comes in 3 varieties; regular defining mascara, a volumising version or Waterproof one that will last and last and last. The amazing technology in the formula make sure the lashes will never clump and even the small lashes will get the same finish as the larger lashes. Despite it’s effects many women are often searching for alternatives to do the job of their beloved mascara. Many turn to eyelash tinting although, the natural look and the fortnightly visits to the salon are not ideal in some women’s eyes. For decades women have been using false eyelashes for special occasions, they are great for a night but are notorious for falling off and ending up on the pillow the next morning. The next generation of false eyelashes are now the semi-permanent eyelash extension. These last much longer and are often placed lash by lash to give volume or length were it is needed. The downside can be the occasional loss of the natural lashes when they are removed. The most extreme measure that is now taken is the procedure of eyelash implants. The hair plus the follicle is taken from the back of the scalp and transplanted into the upper lashes. The major drawback is that the hair will continue to grow so continuous cutting is necessary. So, if you desire lovely lashes, there are so many ways to achieve them for now I will stick to my Guerlain mascara. By Zoe from Permanent Perfect Make-up

When in China...

While in China, a man is very sexually promiscuous and does not use a condom all the time he is there. A week after arriving back home in the States, he wakes one morning to find his penis covered with bright green and purple spots. Horrified, He immediately goes to see a doctor. The doctor, never having seen anything like this before, orders some tests and tells the man to return in two days for the results. The man returns a couple of days later and the doctor says, “I've got bad news for you, you've contracted Mongolian VD. It's very rare and almost unheard of here, we know very little about it.” The man looks a little perplexed and says, “well, give me a shot or something and fix me up, Doc.” The doctor answers, 'I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to have

K N

to amputate it.' The man screams in horror, “Absolutely not! I want a second opinion.” The doctor replies, 'Well, go ahead, if you want but surgery is your only choice.' The next day, the man seeks out a Chinese doctor, figuring that he'll know more about the disease. The Chinese doctor examines his penis and proclaims, “Ah, Yes, Mongolian VD. Vewy ware disease.” The guy says to the doctor, 'Yeah, yeah, I already know that but what can we do? My American doctor wants to operate and amputate it! The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs. Stupid American docttah, always want to Opawate. Make more money dat way. No need to amputate! “Oh, Thank God,!” the man replies. “Yes,” says the Chinese doctor, “Wait two weeks..Fawl off by self. !”

Illuminating...

5 Illuminating signs that they're interested - When someone fancies you, they don’t always show it in the way you’d expect. Miss the signals, and your chance has gone. Next time, look out for these surprising signs – and don’t let ‘em get away. 1. They don’t talk to you - They’re so scared of looking foolish in front of you that they don’t risk it. You need to take charge. Start a conversation. Expect some nervous babble, but be encouraging and interested. Their confidence will grow and they’ll soon start to make sense. 2. They tease you - Schoolkids tease their crushes in the school playground, and none of us ever really outgrows the habit. Attack is the best form of defence, in love as in war. If someone you fancy teases you, don’t give them a slap; give them your phone number. 3. They hide from you - As with the teasing and silent treatment, this one is a form of

defence. If you can’t see them, you can’t see them fall on their face, blush until they burn, or humiliate themselves in random heartbreaking ways. 4. They don’t seem to remember you - So, you had a brief drunken encounter six years ago, and it has faded from their memory. That’s what they want you to think. They want you to think that they’re far too busy and popular to recall it. In fact, the memory is etched onto their brain and lived out in filthy fantasies every single night. 5. They suggest splitting the bill on your first date - If you’re a woman, you probably assume that he’d buy you dinner if he fancied you. If you’re a man, you assume that she’d let you pay if she fancied you. Wrong. When someone’s interested, they’re careful not to seem over-keen, or out to buy affection or sex, or – in the woman’s case – tightfisted. More illuminating signs next month

Thierry Henry: “Sometimes in football you have to score goals.” Gianfranco Zola: “If we can play like that every week we’ll get some level of consistency”. Jack Charlton: “Pele has nearly everything. Maradona has everything”.

Sir Bob Paisley: “A lot of teams beat us, do a lap of honour and don’t stop running. They live too long on one good result. I remember Jimmy Adamson crowing after Burnley had beaten us once, that his players were in a different league. At the end of the season they were.”

Reporter: “Gordon, what will you take from today?” Strachan: I’ve got more important things to think about. I’ve got a yoghurt to finish, the expiry date is today. Gary Lineker: So Gordon, if you were English what formation would you play? Strachan: If I was English I’d top myself.

Ruud Gullit: We must have had 99 per cent of the match. It was the other three per cent that cost us. Andy Gray: “I was saying the other day, how often the most vulnerable area for goalies is between their legs.” Alan Shearer: “I’ve never wanted to leave. I’m here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.” Robbie Earle: “If you’re 0-0 down, there’s no-one better to get you back on terms than Ian Wright.” Alan Shearer: One accusation you can’t throw at me is that I’ve always done my best. Brian Moore: “The news from Guadalajara where the temperature is 96 degrees, is that Falcao is warming up.” Gerrard: “My favourite is classical art – there have been so many great artists. But I like modern as well. It’s nice on the eye.” Cristiano Ronaldo: “I’ve got a contract with United until 2010, but my future belongs to God.”

Ian Wright: “Without being too harsh on David Beckham, he cost us the match.”

Ade Akinbiyi: “I was watching the Blackburn game on TV on Sunday when it flashed on the screen that George (Ndah) had scored in the first minute at Birmingham. My first reaction was to ring him up. Then I remembered he was out there playing.”

A M a nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s W o r l d World Cup Tickets...

A man with tickets to the World Cup Final finds his seat and relaxes. As he sits down, a man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him. "No", he says. "The seat is empty." "This is incredible," says the stranger. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Final and not use it?" "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first match we haven't been to together since we got married in 1957." The stranger replies, "Oh...I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. Couldn't you find someone else -- a friend or relative, or even a neighbour to take the seat?" The man shakes his head, and says "No. They're all at the funeral."

Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If its up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 3. Saturday = Sports. Its like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. 4. Shopping is NOT a sport. and no, we are never going to think of it that way. 5. Crying is blackmail. 6. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: subtle hints do not work! strong hints do not work! obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 7. if something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

Medical Tips... Why is PSA testing so important in Men’s Health

The PSA level is often raised well before any other symptoms of prostate cancer develop. So the test is a useful tool for early diagnosis and treatment.

Men are often renowned for taking risks, generally you get a kick out living life in the fast lane and acting as if you are invincible, sadly this is mission impossible. Looking at recent trends, the incidents of prostate and testicular cancers are increasing sharply. With a few simple changes to your lifestyle you could dramatically improve your well being, you’re functioning and durability as well as your stamina and performance.

The benefits of having a test

• It may provide reassurance if the test result is normal • It can help detect prostate cancer before any symptoms develop •Treatment in the early stages of prostate cancer could help you live longer and avoid the complications of cancer.

Prostrate Cancer

K N

N ZI

It is a blood test that measures the level of PSA in your blood. PSA stands for Prostrate Specific Antigen. PSA is a protein made by the prostate which naturally leaks into the blood stream.

What is a PSA test?

However some prostate cancer can be fast growing and spread to other areas of the body.

At Clinica Medicare all of our tests are carried by our Nurse Practitioner who has many years experience in Men’s health. Please contact the Clinic if you have any further queries or to book an appointment on Tel 952 83 57 76

Prostrate cancer is a common cancer in older men. Every year 22,000 men are diagnosed in the UK alone. Around 8 in 10 cases occur in men over the age of 65. It is rare in men under 50. Unlike many other cancers, prostate cancer is often present for many years without you realising it. This is because in many cases the cancer is slow growing and can take many years to cause any symptoms. By the age of 80, more than half of all men will have some cancer cells in their prostate – but only 1 in 30 of them will actually die from it.

A simple blood test carried out annually as a stand alone test or as part of a more comprehensive yearly health MOT, could make all the difference to your future health.

won’t know which colic situation will turn out to be life threatening and which will pass. While the degree of pain is a good indicator as to how severe the problem is, some horses do not show any real signs of severe pain until the problem has reached a point that the chances of successful treatment are very low. With sand related problems you are much better off calling the vet early when the symptoms are mild, as you have a better chance of solving without resorting to surgery. Sand Sense - Consider feeding psyllium one week a month to prevent sand colic Be aware of any subtle changes in your horse’s attitude or condition any colic can be serious, so don’t hesitate to call the vet, early treatment can be a life saver, and may help avoid surgery.

From The Horses Mouth - Sand Colic...

Sand can cause a serious equine colic hazard, but you can treat colic! Sand is the cause of many horse colic’s, horse’s kept on poor or overgrazed pastures, can eat sand as a result of eating too close to the ground. Each time a horse eats; it licks its lips, and as a result ingests dirt. Also horses that eat out of feed buckets that are too small will tip the bucket over, and as a result they will eat dirt along with their feed. Sand colic basically means intestinal pain related to the presence of sand in the horses digestive tract. In its mildest form, the colic pain is low grade and related to irritation of the gut lining caused by the sand. Colic pain responds well to analgesics such as flunixin (Banamine), though of course they don’t solve the problem of the sand being there in the first place. As the sand continues to accumulate, more serious problems can result, impactions can occur or the horse may develop a volvulus, which is a twist in the colon. The twist may occur when the horse is rolling or exercising. To imagine this, picture a wet towel that you have twisted to wring out the water. When a volvulus occurs, the food material cannot pass through easily, if at all, and the blood supply may be compromised at the twist. The horse may need surgery with a volvulus impaction. Calling a Vet anytime your horse exhibits symptoms of discomfort you think might be related to an abdominal problem, you must call a vet "Better safe than sorry" always applies, don’t give a horse medication and wait to see what happens, there is no such thing as a routine colic, and in the early stages you

Restaurant Review... Madhatters review

toasties. On Sundays they do a Traditional Sunday Roast of mouth watering Beef, Lamb or Chicken which is accompanied with Homemade stuffing, cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes & fresh vegetables. It really is the best I've ever tasted. I have also just learned that after catering for Simon Cowell & the X Factor they now do quite a lot of outside catering. I am so pleased that I a have at last I have found a restaurant, which continues to cook beautiful home-made food. The English Chef (& co owner) has a creative menu with exciting specials every week. I would really suggest that you pay them a visit, you can't miss them next to Barclays Bank, with their stylish new lime green chairs.

I moved to Nueva Andalucia just over four months ago and had been missing real English home cooked food. So when I heard that Madhatters make and freeze ready meals I had to give them a go! I was really surprised to find that I could buy something that I could just pop in the oven and serve up that taste so good. Since that evening, I have been back to Madhatters and become something of a regular customer. They are very well known on the coast for breakfasts. Ranging from the Full English to smoked salmon & scrambled egg bagels, and the perfectly cooked poached eggs. For a lunch I would recommend the fantastic home recipe burgers or Caeser Salad. They also have a varied range, which I have yet to try including Duck wraps, Panini's, sandwiches, baguettes &

Lesson 4 An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'” The eagle answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson 2: A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.” Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I'll give each of you just one wish.” “Me first! Me first!” says the admin clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Puff! She's gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Puff! He's gone. “OK, you're up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.” Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 3: A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

Lesson 5 A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree” sighed the turkey, “but I haven't got the energy.” “Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree. Moral of the story: Bull S *# t might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..

A Quick Course in Management...

Lesson 1: A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor before she says a word, Bob says, “I'll give you 800€ to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her 800€ and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, “Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor she replies.” “Great,” the husband says, “did he say anything about the £800 he owes me?” Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

LI Our First Anniversary

N ZI

Friends, volunteers and customers all visited the Age Care Association Charity Shop recently to celebrate the first anniversary and a very successful opening year. The President of Age Care Association, Charles Betty, was delighted to welcome Steve Jones, the British Consul, who arrived in time to cut the cake and join in the fun. The buffet and drinks were organised by Beverley Morland, Shop Manageress, and her team of shop volunteers. Steve Jones, who opened our shop last year, and his team at the British Consulate are very supportive of the Association and refer clients to us who need help. People who come into the shop often ask how the money is used; here are just some of the answers. Chasing appointments for people at the hospitals in Malaga, working with the different Ayuntamientos to provide long term help from Social Services. Nursing assessments, counselling and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hands onâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; help. Taking patients to hospital when they are receiving ongoing treatment. This is the kind of help that we can offer; but no job is too small, a volunteer this week has brought library books to a housebound client, another took a carer shopping whilst someone sat with her sick husband. Age Care Association does not charge for its services, but clients are welcome to make a donation if they wish. The Association is a non-profit making registered charity. If you would like to volunteer, need information or help contact Age Care Association on 691 761 088/655903182 or visit our website at www.agecarecosta.org

It’s all pants!

Underwear is Important... Always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle... A couple in Birmingham drove their car to the local Asda, only to have their car break down. The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the Car Park. When the wife returned there was a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the car. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the bonnet and found herself staring at her husband. The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.

If only... One evening a husband, thinking it would be funny, said to his wife “Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in Slim Fast. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your bottom” His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn’t let such a comment go unrewarded. The next morning the husband took a pair pants from his drawer. “What’s this?” he said to himself as a small dust cloud appeared when he shook them out. “Mandy “he shouted into the bathroom, “Why did you put talcum powder in my underwear?” She replied with a laugh, “It’s not talcum powder darling it’s Miracle Grow!” Potato in your Pants...After a day at the beach Moe asked "Joe, how come all the girls are interested in you, and they don't pay any attention to me"? Joe said," well, if you won't tell anyone I'll tell you my secret. All you have to do is put a potato in your swimming suit. Then they will notice you!" After the next day at the beach, Moe said "Joe look, I did what you said, and all they did was laugh at me."Joe said" NO,NO,Moe, Put it in front! Not in back!!

European Equities : The recovery in bond markets should be key for equities. The announcements from ECB and EU leaders of the 750bn Euros ($995bn) sovereign debt rescue plan, was welcomed by the markets. Societe Generale sees easing bond yields as a reason why Spanish equities (IBEX 35), still have some positive growth over the course of 2010. However, this growth is likely to be capped by new fiscal tightening measures.

Financial Economic & Currency News...

Economy : Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy just scraped out of a two year recession in May. The Bank of Spain estimates that GDP grew 0.1% in the first quarter of this year, ending seven consecutive quarters of contraction, but lagging the rest of the euro area's recovery by six months. This may help to fend off the downgrading by the ratings agencies. S&P had already downgraded Spain from AA+ to AA in the previous week.

Currencies (GBP/EURO/USD) : The pound has been caught between the weak euro and the strong dollar, although the election result has removed a key source of risk and uncertainty. However, the UK currency risks falling prey to renewed speculative attacks, particularly if the new coalition government fails to deliver a credible and binding deficit-reduction plan. Heightened political, fiscal and economic risk has led many economists to revise down the end-of-year forecast for the sterling against the US dollar. The outlook for GBP/EUR is a more difficult call. While both currencies face their own set of risks, sterling remains undervalued against the euro. As such, there is a general view of a strengthening of the pound against the euro, through 2010.

season. Place pan over a medium heat for 1 min, until hot, but not smoking. Lay the chicken on the pan (it will sizzle if it's hot enough) and leave for 4 mins. Turn the chicken, then cook for 4 mins more. Check if it's cooked by poking the tip of a sharp knife into the thickest part; there should be no sign of pink and juices will run clear. 3. Bash the garlic with the flat of a knife and peel off the skin. Crush with a garlic crusher. Mash the anchovies with a fork against the side of a small bowl. Grate a handful of cheese and mix with the rest of the dressing ingredients. Season to taste. It should be the consistency of yogurt - if yours is thicker, stir in a few tsps water to thin it. 4. Shave the cheese with a peeler. Tear lettuce into large pieces and put in a large bowl. Pull chicken into bite-size strips and scatter half over the leaves, along with half the croutons. Add most of the dressing and toss with your fingers. Scatter the rest of the chicken and croutons, then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Sprinkle the parmesan on top and serve straight away.

Your a GOLFaholic if... You think that some day you'll shoot your age, when a more realistic goal would be to shoot your weight! You know there's more to life than golf, but your'e not interested in finding out what it is!

You quit the game forever, twice a month!

You buy every new golf gizmo that comes out! You think you're skillful and everybody else is lucky!

You miss the ball, but still think it was a great swing!

Hole In One

As a young man, Norton was an exceptional golfer. At the age of 26, however, he decided to become a priest, and joined a rather peculiar order. He took the usual vows of poverty,chastity, but his order also required that he quit golf and never play again. This was particularly difficult for Norton, but he agreed and was finally ordained a priest.

At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed, "You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?" The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not. "Just then Father Norton hit the ball and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole. It was a 420 yard hole in one! St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, "Why did you let him do that?" The Lord smiled and replied,"Who is he going to tell?" 18 Holes Here's a slice of golf history you might enjoy. Why do full-length golf courses have 18 holes, and not 20, 10 or an even dozen?

By limiting himself to only one shot of Scotch per hole, the Scot figured a round of golf was finished when the Scotch ran out....

Old Friend

A golfer ran into a friend he not seen for years at the driving range one day. They talked about their games, their swings, and all sorts of things. Eventually, one of them said, "How's the family?" The other replied, "Oh, pretty good. I got a new set of clubs for the wife the other day!" "Hey, good trade!" replied the friend!

As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles away. This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone he knew from his parish.

So... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and convinced him to say Mass for him that day.

One Sunday morning, the Reverend Father Norton woke up and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf.

During a discussion among the membership board at St. Andrews Golf Club in 1858, one of the members pointed out that it takes exactly 18 holes to polish off a fifth of Scotch.

Are you a GOLFaholic?!

You can't break a 100 but still think you could give Tiger a few tips!

Golf Tips And Tricks able to keeping your hands in position as you swing as a grip wears in this area in begins to shine even after it has been washed and another reason to get them changed.

Get a Grip Each month I normally talk about the swing or something that will help your short game to improve, I do not often talk about equipment but the state of some of the grips I have seen on golfers clubs when they come for coaching in recent weeks has pushed me into righting this one, I have seen one customer who had allowed his grips to wear down to a level allowing you to see the chrome of the shaft in the place of the grip. The grip on your golf club is the only contact you have with it and once your hands have adopted the position you want on the club you do not want it slip as you swing so two questions how should you maintain the grip and how do you know when it should be replaced.

As a club maker I change a large number of grips and one thing I see a lot is grips that don’t fit get your pro to measure your hand and fit a grip that is the correct size, this is important for grip position and comfort. By Mark Sibley of Miraflores Golf Academy.

Two ants were in a sand trap watching a duffer flailing away. "Quick," said the one ant to the other. "Get on the ball before he kills us."

K N

Maintaining Your Grip It is easy to look after your grip keeping the surface tacky and ready to play with, every time you play or practice take a few minutes when you get home to wipe the grips over with a wet cloth removing the dirt, leave them out of your bag to dry.

When Is the Grip Worn Out

Fiat Seicento Schumacher: The Seicento was confirmation that Fiat had lost its way in the city car sector. So how do you think F1 legend Michael Schumacher felt when the Italian company honoured his general excellence in the field of motoring with a 1.1-litre version in yellow?

"Darling" says a husband coyly to his wife: "let's swap positions tonight". "What a good idea" she replies, "you stand in front of the ironing board, and I'll sit in front of the TV and fart".

While out one morning in the park, a jogger found a brand new tennis ball, and seeing none around it might belong to, he slipped it into the pocket of his shorts. Later, on his way home, he stopped at the pedestrian crossing, waiting for the lights to change. A girl standing next to him eyed the large bulge in his shorts. "What's that?" she asked, her eyes gleaming with lust. "Tennis ball," came the breathless reply. "Oh," said the girl sympathetically, "that must be painful.... I had tennis elbow once."

Q: What's E.T. short for? A: Because he has little legs!

A teacher asked her class how many of them were Gordon Brown fans. Not really knowing what a Gordon Brown fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny. The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different...again. Little Johnny said, 'Because I'm not a Gordon Brown fan.' The teacher asked, 'Why aren't you a Gordon Brown fan?' Johnny said, 'Because I'm a Conservative.' The teacher asked him why he's a Conservative. Little Johnny answered, 'Well, my Mum's a Conservative and my Dad's a Conservative, so I'm a Conservative.' Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, 'If your Mum was a moron and your Dad was an idiot, what would that make you?' Little Johnny replied, 'A Gordon Brown fan.'

Back in the days of cowboys and Indians, toilet paper had just been invented. An Indian, unaware of the new invention, was amazed when he saw a cowboy using it out in the woods. Instead of scalping the cowboy, he offers to let him live if he tells the Indian where he can get some toilet paper. And the cowboy told the Indian about a trading post in the middle of the forest. The next day, the Indian was looking over the different types of toilet paper and asked the clerk how much the “Soft and Gentle” was.“That'd be $2.50,” said the clerk. “Too much,” mumbled the Indian, “how about the 'Gentle'?” “That one's $2,” answered the clerk. “Still too much,” complained the Indian, “anything cheaper?” “Welllll,” replied the clerk, “We do have a generic kind.” “What generic mean?” asked the Indian. “It means it doesn't have a name, and it's only 50 cents.” “Me take that,” said the Indian. The next day, the Indian returns to the trading post and tells the clerk, “Me have name for generic toilet paper.” “Oh,” says the clerk, “what's the name?” “Me call it John Wayne... it's rough, tough and it take no crap from Indian.

It's all about love for you this month. Talk about a good time! If you're single, watch out for a parade of interesting admirers who will refuse to be ignored. If Sagittarius you're attached, the parade will be the same, but you'll have to give your partner lots of TLC.
